How We Plan New Stations

Kansas City B-cycle is continually looking for opportunities to bring bike share to new locations and new neighborhoods. We consider a variety of factors when evaluating new locations. Some of the main criteria may include...

Location

Is the station within close proximity to another station in one of our current service areas?

Or, is there enough demand to create a new service area with a cluster of multiple stations?

Does the location improve access to transportation or recreation for historically underserved communities?

Destinations

Does the area have a dense mix of uses like housing, offices, retail, etc.?

Is there significant foot traffic?

Are there popular destinations for residents, employees, and visitors?

Is there a parking crunch or access issue that bike share can aid?

Connectivity

Are there on-street bike lanes and/or multi-use trails?

If not, are these types of bikeways planned?

Is there a transit center or frequent bus line with high ridership?

What is the current rate of bicycling in the surrounding census tract?

What are the speeds and traffic volumes of adjacent streets?

Site characteristics

Is the location on private property or in the public right of way?

Would the station impede pedestrian traffic or violate ADA regulations?

Is there sufficient space and level ground?

Is there clear southern exposure to allow for solar power? Or is there an electrical supply nearby?

What is the terrain and topography in the surrounding neighborhood

Funding

Bike share is a public/private/nonprofit partnership, and we are a 501(c)3 charitable organization. B-stations require a significant capital investment and annual funds for ongoing operations and maintenance.
